Austin Reaves is currently playing in the biggest season of his young career. Reaves, like many other Lakers, is on an expiring contract. In the summer, he turned down the maximum extension the Lakers offered him, setting up this to be a make-or-break season for the guard. Reaves declining the deal made perfect sense. The Lakers, […]

After knowing right away that the Lakers weren’t going to win on Saturday against Atlanta, the opening minutes of Monday’s game against the Hornets were going to be notable. While it wasn’t a “blow you away” type of performance from LA, it was a far more serious approach. Impressively — and improbably — it was […]

While much of the discussion about the Lakers’ injuries has centered on Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and LeBron James, they aren’t the only ones who have missed time. Gabe Vincent opened the season (controversially) in the starting lineup before suffering an injury midway through the third game of the season. That sprained ankle against the […]

While JJ Redick’s postgame press conference was quite funny in its brevity, there was something to take away from his answers, too.

With the Lakers entering Atlanta as one of the hottest teams in the NBA and the Hawks having Trae Young, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, Luke Kennard and Kristaps Porzingis all out, it was easy to assume this game would be an LA win.
